This perspective comes from an Iraq War vet currently in a police academy. He is using a pseudonym to avoid retribution.

Media outlets are in the business of making money. The war on cops is a story that sells. Easy math.

On a per capita basis a police officer has roughly 5,000 times higher likelihood of being killed in the line of duty than a "Black" has of being killed by a police officer.
Equally, a "Black" has (roughly) a 20 times greater chance of being killed by a "Black" than they do of being killed by a police officer.

If you are saying that these is a "war on police" or "policing is more dangerous than in the past" you better have some data to refute this chart.
You want dangerous? Go work in a mine!

I am a man who believes that police should be held to the same standards as everyone else when they make mistakes or break the law. "Badges don't grant extra rights" if you will.
With that being said, I obey the law and cooperate with the police should I have to deal with them (traffic stop for instance).

I also have to say I'm not one of those douche bags who ask cops "Am I being detained or am I free to go?" if I'm being pulled over (though I haven't even been pulled over in 3 years).
